why would you hook them to the parking lights? for all of mine ive never had a problem and i have 6 (500's, same thing)

Why not just wire them up independantly? That's what I did with my PIAAs for ease of installation.

theres 3 prongs on the switch, directions show one wire goes to the parking light, one goes to ground that is also tied to relay, and 3rd goes to the relay switch. If i don't run it to the parking light, where do i run it to?

i just stuck my into the fuebox on the interior. havent had any problems with it.

 

[XplorerOwnsYou]

did u stick it into the fuse that takes care of the parking lights?

and I'm really tryin to get this done tonight so if any of u ppl willing to help can IM me at buckeyedox45 thatd be even better

i stuck it in a fuse that has permanent power, cause i can turn them on and off with the car off though its not such a good idea (cause it runs down my battery FAST!)

i ran the third wire from my switch directly to the battery. Thats the best way to go.

You can tap the parking lights at the factory switch, use a test light to determine which. When I bought and installed factory driving light package, instructions had me tap into dimmer switch in column.
